Mauricio “Trompas” Pintor (22-3-1 14 KOs) has had a busy year leading up to the biggest fight of his career last March when he outpointed Diego Cruz over 10 rounds to pick up the WBC Latin belt on Boxeo Telemundo. He later reappeared in the summer series, defeating Miguel Angel Martinez in 2 rounds. Pintor, the nephew of Hall Of Famer Lupe Pintor, has high hopes that a win on Friday night will earn him a spot in the rankings and a step closer to a title shot.

John Karl Sosa (14-3 7 KOs) of Caguas, Puerto Rico was a stellar amateur before going pro in 2012. Carrying the momentum into the paid ranks, in 2014, Sosa was recognized by the WBO as one of the best prospects of Puerto Rico. Sosa started his career 13-0 before getting his first taste of defeat, losing to Alan Sanchez in Las Vegas, NV. He later took time off his career until bouncing back with a knockout win this past May against Miguel Angel “El Pirado” Suárez.
